The original start date was slated to begin on Wednesday but was pushed back a couple of days to the weather. Friday's workout was the first of 15 scheduled practices that are slated to end April 30th.
SFA returns 19 starters, including 10 on offense, from a team that went 6-5 last season and finished third in the Southland Conference standings. After a sluggish 1-5 start, the Lumberjacks rallied to win their final five games of the year.
